Uros Mikic was inspired by his recent trip to New York for his Urban Queens collection, which combines softness and movement with barbering techniques.
"I fell in love with the variety the streets of New York had on offer," he says. "The soft, the elegant, the tough and the edgy.
"I wanted to play with the different looks, forming them into strong structures and then deconstructing them to achieve softness and movement with a 1970s, bohemian-inspired look. The cuts have an element of disconnect to create a strong feel while the styling keeps it feminine and soft. It was fun to also incorporate strong men’s barbering techniques like fading into the styling to achieve a harsh, edgy shape.
"The shapes were built with texture and volume to create bigger and fuller styles. I used a variety of curling techniques to achieve different textures which enabled me to mould into the desired shape. My Urban Queens wear soft subtle colours, sun?kissed highlights reminiscent of the sunny, easy-going 1970s bohemian days."
